ANodious tabloid is currently basking in the glowof its headline
'Sign on you Crazy Diamond'', in relation to the
erstwhile chief executive of Barclays'' Bank.

Can I reaffirmthat this inspired line (based on Pink
Floyd''s Shine on you Crazy Diamond) was actually plagiarised
from our very own Half Man Half Biscuit''s ''A Lilac
Harry Quinn'', which dates back as far as 1991 on their
McIntyre Treadmore and Davitt album.

The record needs to be set straight, here, and the rag should maybe
stick to its hopelessly contrived (read false) tales about deranged Scouse comedians partaking of people''s hamsters as a
delicacy. And that''s ''The Truth'.'.
